The Menopause Brain: New Science Empowers Women to Navigate the Pivotal Transition with Knowledge and Confidence

Menopause and perimenopause are still a black box for most physicians, leaving patients frustrated with symptoms ranging from hot flashes to insomnia to brain fog. Dr. Moscone, a leading neuroscientist and expert on women's brain health, unravels these mysteries by revealing that menopause is a hormone show in which the brain plays a leading role, not just affecting the ovaries.
The decline of the hormone estrogen during menopause can affect everything from body temperature to mood to memory, potentially paving the way for cognitive decline in later life. Dr. Moscone presents the latest approaches to overcoming these challenges, explaining the role of cutting-edge hormone replacement therapies such as “designer estrogens,” hormonal birth control, and important lifestyle changes including diet, exercise, self-care, and self-talk
Above all, Dr. Moscone dispels the myth that menopause means the end, demonstrating that menopause is in fact a transitional period. Contrary to popular belief, if we know how to take care of ourselves during menopause, we can be renewed, strengthen our brains, and enter a new chapter of a meaningful and vibrant life.
